Former Miss America to Challenge Rogers

The district leans heavily Republican.

Former Miss America Mallory Hagan (D) “is running for Congress from eastern Alabama. The 29-year-old Opelika, Alabama, native announced her … bid for Alabama’s District 3 seat during an event at her parents’ dance studio on Tuesday.”

“Hagan says many people feel unheard after nearly four terms of” Rep. Mike Rogers (R) “holding the congressional seat. She says she knows how to talk to people, assess their problems and come up with solutions.” (AP)
